Addressing the client’s
brief of wanting a trendy space; the designer composes an engaging vocabulary
of materials, textures and bespoke furniture and art to bring to life a
vivacious ambience suited to its young residents.

A tried and tested palette
of neutrals - beiges, browns, and whites, with metallic highlights - hints of
gold - make up the backdrop against
which are set chic Statuario marble, Ziricote veneer and leather, defining the materiality and exuding
a high-gloss, rich-finish look that adds to the visual allure.

The permeating warmth is
augmented by uplighters, spots, standing lamps, spot lighting, and pendants etc.
to cater to variations in moods.

Spaciousness is evoked viz.
large swathes of empty spaces, a luxe bathtub, mirrors, floor-to-ceiling
windows, and glass partitions that not only amplify seamlessness and volumetric
dimensions, but also forge a connect with the outdoors.

.

Smartly, the designer uses
striking visual cues to divert attention away from what he does not wish a
visitor’s eyes to linger on. For example, in the study, a vibrant ‘girl with a
headscarf’ painting screens off the meditation room concealed behind the
artwork. Similarly, in the pantry-cum-breakfast area, a coral tank grabs
attention deflecting it away from the mundane service features like oven and
gas top.

In the same vein,
well-culled pieces of furniture, fine art and artefacts anoint
the interiors, giving rise to the art of narratives in the decor. At
certain places, the ceiling is also dramatized. For instance, in the pantry-cum-breakfast
area, the ceiling dazzles like rays of the sun.

.

A youthful touch comes
through in the entertainment-cum-bar area, where a wall is covered in philosophical
quotes; bean bags inspired poufs provide a quirky edge. A curvy wash basin
counter and asymmetrical mirrors break away from the otherwise linear forms
making a bold statement.

An internal elevator
connecting the floors; rugs, television sets in multiple areas; gilded finishes
etc. foster opulence and glamour that is distinct and conspicuous in this home.
